Major Crush

In this episode of Major Crush, Meredith and Lou sit down with Claire Lurton of Aciabo. It was an incredible “get” to spend time with Claire at her winery on Chalk Hill in Sonoma County. She and her husband, Gonzague, have a deeply fascinating history as a part of two of the most storied wine families in all of Bordeaux, France, which added so many new layers to the conversations Meredith and Lou started in three previous episodes of Major Crush where they discuss the various wine-growing regions in France. The personal details and perspectives Claire offers up in this episode are beyond interesting, and the way she approaches winemaking in California is truly unique. // If you’d like to taste the Aciabo wines — or any of the wines Claire and Gonzague import from one of their family chateaus in France, you can visit them at their tasting room located at 422 Healdsburg Avenue, Healdsburg, CA — to make a reservation, please call: 707-791-0943 or email pascal@acaibo.com // You can also check out all of the wines
